Homemade holiday gifts used to be associated with middle-school art classes. (We know your mom still has that macaroni ornament you made when you were 10.) But thanks to Cricut machine renaissance in the late 2010s, it's extremely easy for today's casual hobbyists and DIYers to craft custom presents that look like they were made by professionals.

Cricut is running a Cyber Monday sale on its electric cutting machines, bundles, and accessories this weekend, but bargain hunters should do their shopping on Amazon instead — the retail giant is matching and often beating many of the brand's offers as part of its own Cyber Monday event. We'll use the Cricut Basic Tool set as an example, which normally retails for $26.99: It was $13.49 on Cricut.com and $9.79 on Amazon at the time of writing.

Below, we've rounded up a selection of the very best Cyber Monday Cricut deals on Amazon.
